BOOKINGS? Bookings are not required (actually we can’t take them) and there is no cover charge to come see us

Is there a TOUR? / What’s the EXPERIENCE? There is no formal tour (and no entry charge), essentially we are a working chocolate factory that welcomes visitors. You come in, see the chocolate factory production room, enjoys tasting some freshly made chocolates with our engaging staff and if you like them enough they are available for sale. Alternative you can enjoy a delicious hot chocolate in our café.

GUIDE / ASSISTANCE DOGS? are most welcome (even with their owners….) On a practical level it is always quieter in the mornings (10.00 am through 12.30 pm ) and less people who may try and interact with your working dog.

A visit to Skelligs Chocolate has always been special and centres around the warm, friendly greeting and happy staff. This will always be the case, but there will be some changes to the inside of the factory on a temporary basis.

We have a short video (< 2 mins.) on our homepage here that will also give you an overview of what a visit to us is ‘normally’ like (well, pre Covid).
